CORONAVIRUS
(COVID-19)
TEMPORARY APPOINTMENT PROTOCOL:
SEPTEMBER 2020
Due to the fragility and high-risk factors of our patients (as well as our staff) the Tysons Pain Center community is significantly more susceptible to Covid-19, which is why
our office will remain temporarily closed until it is safe to resume regular office operations.
The health and safety of our patients, physician & staff, and those surrounding us is our main priority.
Telemedicine / remote services are taking place on a limited schedule for current patients.
No in-person examinations, or medical procedures will take place until further notice.
We will continue to monitor the changes in status of the Covid-19 pandemic, and hope to resume regular office examinations and procedures when it is safe to do so.
When we re-open and resume regular in-person appointments and procedures,
new appointment safety guidelines and procedures will be posted here.
(When we re-open, appointment and safety protocol will be strictly adjusted for the health & safety during this health crisis)

FEELING SICK, OR HAVING COVID-19 SYMPTOMS? DRIVE UP TESTING AVAILABLE NOW.
D.C., Maryland and Virginia are opening new coronavirus testing sites with both drive-through and walk-up options for adults, children and vulnerable populations as the pandemic grips the region.
Since testing kits are still considered limited, all sites in the area require a remote or onsite pre-screening with a physician to determine if a patient meets the criteria to get tested.
If they do, they’ll receive a doctor’s order and be able to make an appointment at a testing site like those below. Some are established clinics and hospitals, others are temporary sample collection sites.
